Description

Version: 4.0 start 01 August 2021
 

Short description

Students develop a fairly large object-oriented software application. In groups, they implement a self-selected project idea from the vision through to an executable application. A predefined iterative-incremental software development process is applied (the basis of agile software development).

Module contents

The students develop in teams of 5 (+/-1) persons a larger software application in this module. In addition to the application of analysis and design competencies (from SWEN1), the realization and project management competencies are also practiced and the social and personal competencies are strengthened.

The ability to professionally create and carefully test larger software systems is an essential part of the realization competence.

Project management competence is needed to design work processes and, in particular, to organise one's own work and that of others. For this purpose, the ability to work in a team and the constructive examination of concepts and proposed solutions are essential. Students have learned to develop solutions, even with limited resources, that meet generally accepted quality standards and are accepted by all participants. 

The teams are randomly drawn, select a project manager and jointly develop a project idea that they want to realize. The milestones and the development and project management artifacts to be created are specified.

The students use a predefined iterative-incremental software development process (basis of agile software development) with the following predefined milestones and artifacts.

M1: Project Outline, 1 Iteration (2 weeks)
  • Evaluation: stakeholder agreement on vision, project goals and scope, agreed first phase/iteration plan, first risks identified
  • Artifacts: project outline (vision, competitor analysis, initial requirements, profitability), project management (phase/iteration plan, iteration plan, next iteration, risk list)
M2: Solution Architecture, 2 Iterations (4 weeks)
  • Evaluation: vision, goals and requirements clearly documented and stable (80%), documented and verified software architecture (with code) that meets the requirements 
  • Artifacts: use case model, domain model, non-functional requirements, software architecture, selected designs, code, project management (phase/iteration plan, iteration plans, iteration assessments, risk list)
M3: Beta Release, 3 Iterations (6 weeks)
  • Evaluation: Feature-complete, Beta-Release is stable
  • Artifacts: application (software), technical report (summary of the analysis und  the design), project management (phase/iteration plan, iteration plans, iteration assessments, risk list)
In each iteration (except the first iteration) a software increment is implemented. The results of the milestones are presented per team in the plenum. In between there are weekly status meetings per team with the lecturer.

Throughout the project, students will use version management (Git) for the code, as well as build and test tools (JUnit, Mockito).
